Another Reason Why Voting Should Be Restricted to the Sane

A lawsuit to a stop potential war against Iraq is thrown out. The suit was partially filed by Congressmen John "Commie" Conyers and "Baghdad" Jim McDermott.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro ruled that a federal court can judge the war policies of political branches of government only when actions taken by Congress and the president are in conflict -- a situation that does not exist today.

The civil lawsuit, brought by three members of the military, six parents of U.S. troops and six members of Congress, sought an injunction to stop potential U.S. military action on the grounds that only Congress has the right to declare war.
